Prince of Wales Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge between Wales and England in the United Kingdom. The bridge was originally called the Second Severn Crossing, and was opened on 5 June 1996 by Prince Charles. In 2018, the bridge was renamed the Prince of Wales Bridge. Due to increased traffic on the Severn Bridge, there was a need to build a larger bridge. It has three lanes in each direction and is part of the M4 motorway.
The bridge is 5,128 meters long and has a span of 456 meters.
